RESUMO
The main of this Dissertation is the preparation of nanostructures from T1-xZrxO2 mixed oxide. The precursor oxide was prepared by the homogeneous precipitation method, from titanium tetrachloride and zirconium oxichloride, using urea as the precipitating agent. The oxides were hydrothermally treated in autoclave, in NaOH solution, at temperatures of 140 and 170 °C, for period of 2 to 7 days. According to the physical-chemical characterizations, it was observed that the products prepared by the hydrohermal treatment with x <0.50 presented morphologies like nanotubes, nanosheets and nanorods. However, for x >0.05, it was observed the presence of two crystalline phases, sodium titanate and tetragonal ZrO2. For x >0.50, it was not observed morphological changes, being tetragonal ZrO2 the obtained phase. Starting from the mixed oxide with x = 0.50, ZrTiO4 phase, it was observed nanotubes with the same crystalline phase. For x = 0.15, it was also observed that the increase of solution volume in the autoclave causes a crystallinity increase and destruction of the particles organization. The increase in time and temperature of reaction caused an increase in the crystallinity of the hydrothermal products for x = 0.15 e 0. 50; for x = 0, it was observed more quantity of nanotubes; and for x = 0.15, fewer nanosheets; for x = 0.80 and 1, it was not observed either morphological neither crystalline changes. The reactivity of the nanotubes (x = 0) and nanorods/nanosheets (x = 0.15) with organic molecules, which promote the morphology destructions and changes in the crystalline structure. These effects were increased with heating. The nanorods/nanosheets strongly interact with acid molecules, without loosing of morphology or the original crystalline structures
